Garner healthy, Hartline bigger, Stanley agrees

Let's start with the news: Agent Ralph Cindrick said on his twitter account that the Dolphins have just agreed to terms with DT Montavious Stanley.

Stanley was a 4-3 defensive tackle last season with the Jaguars. He is likely going to be asked to play the nose or hybrid nose tackle spot for the Dolphins. Jason Ferguson retired suddenly a couple of weeks back and Miami is obviously looking for depth.

Stanley has played for five teams in six years, including the 2006 Dallas Cowboys when Jeff Ireland was in the personnel department there.

Late last week I followed wide receiver Brian Hartline and guard Nate Garner to a community relations reading event then spoke with both about the importance of their upcoming training camp.

I break down Hartline and Garner's chances of starting here.

It is important to note that Garner is 100 percent healthy following a foot injury that derailed his offseason. He spent the entire offseason rehabilitating the injury.

Hartline spent the offseason trying to get bigger, stronger, faster. He also had an issue with a auto accident in which his truck was found abandoned by the side of the road along Interstate 595 here in So. Fla.

Hartline declined to comment on the accident under advice of counsel.

I don't really think this issue will cause Hartline major problems. All reports are no one was injured in the accident, including Hartline. Hartline has a lawyer. The Dolphins aren't likely to discipline him severely unless he is found guilty of something serious. I don't think abandoning a vehicle -- if it can be even proven he did so -- will rise to the level of getting severely disciplined.

Remember, this isn't the first time the vehicle of a Dolphins player was found abandoned at the scene of an accident. Channing Crowder's vehicle was found abandoned at the scene of an accident in January of 2008.

Neither the NFL nor the Dolphins imposed any game-related discipline in that instance. Crowder was reportedly cited for careless driving.

This doesn't and shouldn't diminish the seriousness of leaving an accident -- if indeed that is what Hartline did. But in the universe of off-field issues the NFL weighs, it is more a moon than a supernova.

Ben Franklin,

You could loosely call it plagiarism, or just call it passing on a good laugh.

If someone is copy and pasting negative stuff just trying to stir the pot, that would be straight up bullsh_t(not that I'm saying that's what you just did :)
However, if someone is just copy and pasting humorous stuff for the sake of passing on a laugh.......well.......I'm just going to say:

Lifes short, thanks for the laughs............

[Dol-fandanny]

i know i'm not a frequent poster and may be overlooked but i am a frequent reader and puzzled and almost mad at espn's fantasy-preview of henne this season:

Henne took the reins in Miami once Chad Pennington blew out his shoulder in Week 3, and he acquitted himself admirably. He completed more than 60 percent of his throws his first go-round in the league, and that bodes well. What bodes even better is that the Dolphins traded for Brandon Marshall this spring, which finally gives them a legitimately scary No. 1 receiving target. Now, Miami is still looking for a field-stretcher, because that's not Marshall's deal. So don't expect Henne to suddenly be a downfield bomber. But with Marshall and his 100-plus catches and double-digit touchdown potential on board, Henne's prospects grow much stronger in 2010. He throws a pretty ball, and if Marshall stays sane, the two could make beautiful music together.

How could they say that were still looking for a field-stretcher? and if marshall stays sane?!? i know he was corrupt off the field in denver but that is a bold statement from my point of view.

anyone else agree?

[Joe ~'The Derivative Thief']

Holy Cr@p !!
